This sounded like a very logical explanation, yet it reeked of a hidden conspiracy.
I had a strong feeling that the so-called ascension was completely unreliable. When it came to things like corpses coming back to life, fate, and ghosts, I believed in them, because I had experienced them firsthand or witnessed them with my own eyes.

The reason I smelled a conspiracy came down to this Bronze Seal. According to Zhao Fada, the first imprint on the paper had been made using ink from twenty years ago. Yet stamping it onto a piece of Ming dynasty antique paper meant it was a forgery, deliberately intended to feed people false information. Since this seal had been acquired by someone twenty years ago, why on earth did it end up inside a spider?
